Answer 1

To rotate a point \( (x, y) \) 270 degrees clockwise around the origin, you can use the following transformation:

- A rotation of 270 degrees clockwise is equivalent to a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise. The transformation for a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation is given by:

\[
(x, y) \to (-y, x)
\]

Applying this transformation to the point \( (9, 5) \):

\[
(9, 5) \to (-5, 9)
\]

Thus, the new point after rotating \( (9, 5) \) 270 degrees clockwise is:

\((-5, 9)\)

So the correct response is:

\((−5, 9)\)
